Here comes the sun....

The sun came out this weekend—solar production doubled, for
4KW to 8KW per day! We leaped on the sunny days to catch up on outside chores.
So, since Wednesday afternoon, we have:

vWashed and sundried six loads of laundry, mostly
sheets and towels.

vMowed and trimmed the entire yard—front one day,
back the next.

vPlanted all of the potatoes.

vMoved two yards of soil into the reconstructed
garden beds.

vMoved bricks around to create a pathway to the
solar display.

vAdmired the tulips.

vChipped all of the prunings from the year.

vPlanted root crops in the ground—parsnips,
carrots, and beets.

vCleaned up the herb garden.

vWeeded everywhere.

vWashed the outside chairs.

vOpened up the greenhouse so that the tomatoes
were buffeted by fresh air.

vRead in the sun.

vWalked around the Arboretum to look at spring flowers.

We were not the only ones working on projects—when I picked
up a friend for a walk, her partner had just reinforced his greenhouse and was
working on patching holes. He, too, had a list in mind and a gleam in his eye.
